Palace to Robredo: Duterte knows what skills one needs to become president

By Prince Golez

MalacaƱang came to the defense of President Rodrigo Duterte for saying that Vice President Leni Robredo is not qualified to run for President.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque was reacting to Robredo’s statement that it is not for Duterte to decide if she’s capable of running the country.

“Tama po [si Robredo]. ‘Yan ay desisyon ng taumbayan. Pero kabahagi po ng taumbayan ay ang Presidente na siya ay boboto rin,” Roque said Wednesday in an interview over state-run PTV.

“Dahil siya ay naging Presidente, alam niya yung mga kakayahan na kinakailangan para maging Presidente at ang kanyang naging assessment na sumatutal hindi po angkop na maging Presidente ang ating Bise-Presidente,” he added.

Duterte earlier criticized Robredo for likening his demand for payment from the United States to retain the Visiting Forces Agreement to “extortion,” saying that the vice president should take a refresher course in law.
